Kobe is 4-2 vs Duncan. Plus has repeated 3 times. I'd give Kobe the edge.
Bron played in the east. Kobe has 5 rings Bron has 2. So miss me with the losing angle. Kobe has never lost in the Conference finals as a no .1 seed. Can't say the same for Bron and Duncan. Losing to 8th seeds and being up 2-1 and losing the series as the best team in the NBA.

When Kobe has had the no.1 seed he either winning it all or making it to the Finals. Kobe and the Lakers dismantle that same team in 09 that Bron and the Cavs choked to.
Be No. 1 seeds and not get to the Finals brehs.
